Ok so let me start this off by saying I’m a huge fan of Dean Ambrose. But for the people in the IWC saying that Dean Ambrose should be the face of the company... I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news!
The simple fact of the matter is that Dean Ambrose is one hell of a guy, both in the ring and on the microphone. However, what people forget about most is the image. Dean Ambrose simply doesn’t have “the look”. Think about the faces of the company. Austin had the look. Hogan had the look. Rock had the look, Flair did, Cena does, Michaels did. Ambrose is simply not one of the individuals with an impressive image. That much belongs to one man – roman reigns (cue groans from the IWC).
Ambrose does have one thing going for him though. He is essentially CM Punk. A man that can talk on the mic and go in the ring. He understands ring psychology and will play a better heel than a face. He is perfect to have as a number 2 face or a number 1 or 2 heel (only second to Bray Wyatt potentially). Even Dean Ambrose’s character at the moment is practically a heel. He is deranged, creepy, doesn’t seem to care and acts like a bit of an ass hole. On Monday Night Raw for 20th referred to by Cena as “The Joker”, which would agree with what I’m saying. Over the next year I fully expect Dean Ambrose to be a heel to Roman Reigns, Bad News Barrett, Bryan or Cena. He is likely to be pushed as a top heel, with Randy Orton playing in just below.
HOWEVER I will state this much. Can the IWC make a difference? NO. This is not the same as it was with Bryan. You can cheer all you like, but Roman Reigns will be the top guy. This is because it is BEST FOR BUSINESS. You need a guy in the company who looks like he can be in charge. At the moment that is Cena. It used to be Austin or The Rock. In future it will be Reigns, and that’s not the say he will be a god in the ring. He won’t be, but that isn’t what matters in business. Business is image. Lawyers wear expensive suits to impress clients and opposition, and wrestling companies pick a guy to be on top who LOOKS impressive. There is a certain professional image to be had for the company, and Reigns looks the part. Dean Ambrose (especially his hair) does not.
